Bad though the abuse was, it is overshadowed by the deliberate cover-up. This "protect the Church at all costs" attitude goes back centuries, but Ratzinger in his previous job bore a good part of the direct responsibility for the cover-up, having issued instructions to bishops to do it. So everything he is now saying (and replicated above by Jesus) is deeply hypocritical. I think the point of this one may be too subtle for most people who haven’t followed the child abuse saga.

Given that the bastards hid the truth as long as they possibly could, and in so doing left children vulnerable to future abuse, which sure enough did take place - I really see nothing good in their admitting what everyone already knows and pretending to feel bad about it. Coming after it's far too late, all a mea culpa can be is an attempt at public relations - a disgustingly cynical self-serving callous attempt at public relations. Perpetrators don't get to claim to share the outrage of victims! The claim is ridiculous and insulting. Notice the pope isn't stepping down, or even promising sweeping reforms - he's just pretending to feel harrowed. Well fuck that. Fuck how Ratzinger <i>feels</i>. It's years too late for that. spoing, not to be picky, but I really don’t think it is gratifying to see a pseudo-mea culpa which arrives only after the truth has been made so public that the church no longer has so much as a square of toilet paper to hide behind.

In May 2001, then cardinal ratzinger sent a confidential letter to all catholic bishops instructing them that "investigations into child sex abuse claims be carried out in secret" (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/apr/24/children.childprotection). This is more than the usual run of the mill papal hypocrisy, it is active obstruction of civil justice on an international basis. This criminal should be dragged before the World Court in the Hague and be made to answer for his crimes against humanity, along with the other genocidal psychopaths that regularly appear there.
